...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

...Synopsis...
A potent, rapidly progressing upper trough will traverse the
southwestern CONUS and impinge on the Plains states tomorrow
(Thursday), supporting rapid surface low development across the
central High Plains. Strong, dry downslope flow across the High
Plains amid drying fuels will support significant wildfire-spread
potential, particularly over locations that have not experienced
recent appreciable precipitation. By mid afternoon,
south-southwesterly surface winds will sustain in the 20-25 mph
range as RH falls to 15-20 percent, supporting a long axis of
Elevated to Critical conditions from Far West Texas to central
Nebraska.
